Electronics and Instrumentation

Today, the semiconductor industry is one of the largest and fastest growing industries. With its rapid expanding pace, this industry can be divided into 4 main categories including:

·         Memory chips,

·         Microprocessors,

·         Commodity Integrated Circuit and

·         Complex SoC (System on a Chip)

With increasing competition, the   semiconductor manufacturers are designing faster, cheaper and smaller chips today. However, even as new chips are being launched into the market, they are rapidly growing old and the semiconductor producers are left with no option but to produce an improvised version at an even lesser price so that they are able to attract and retain customers. This replacement cycle which used to be around 4 years previously is now less than 2 and will reach 1 year soon.

Earlier, semiconductor producers controlled the complete production processes, however, now they are assigning an increased number of processes to others.

Manufacturers today, seek to transform their operations of global business processes across their value chain by automating, executing and managing their processes. This means, an end-to-end integration of processes across operations is needed- regardless of where these facilities and operations are physically located. This research group is central to the concept of ‘Coordinate and Synchronize People, Processes, Equipment, Tooling and Materials on a Global Scale.’ Technological advancements in process monitoring, control and industrial automation over the past decades have contributed greatly to improve the productivity of virtually all manufacturing industries throughout the world. Businesses can run through this section to gain insights through report that highlights automation and minimization of manual and personnel-related work over industrial process, production processes, and manufacturing.
